I don't believe I've ever seen quite the hot mess as this. Y'see, there was supposed to be a press release cast reveal on Monday. Today, as per my X'ed out image above, we were to get cast interviews on the live feeds. On Monday CBS pulled off the interview notice and replaced it with a "Coming Soon, August 5" notice on the feeds.
And, they've ghosted us all along. Now, you can't just post a notice like that and then take it down without explanation as if no one ever saw it and it doesn't exist! I realize much of our politics seem that way today, but ...!
Rumors have it that one or more of the 14-day quarantine/sequester hamsters tested positive for COVID-19. Supposedly they had a few alternates, so I don't really know the issue and they ain't saying!
I've been researching all around and have gathered up some intel and some rumors that are likely to be true. Here's the skinny:
* Janelle and Kaysar seem to indeed be in the cast and haven't been mentioned in the rumors they're out.
* Danielle Reyes was rumored to be in the cast. However, she's been posting on Twitter claiming that she never was in the cast. They aren't allowed to post from sequester (although it appears that family might be making some posts for others). Her tweets do seem to be coming from her. I'm disappointed. Sigh.
* Paul was never in the cast and posted that he didn't want the additional stress in his life with the pandemic and ill parents who needed him at home. I think he either wasn't asked or figured he'd just lose again. No great loss.
* Supposedly, Josh and Kaycee were in the cast and now they're not. Would they be the virus carriers if there are a few? Both had been seen partying it up at bars prior to quarantine.
* Bayleigh and Tyler seem to be in the cast. Both may be booted due to slips from Swaggy and Tyler's mother. Swaggy was videoed in a promo for some online show he and Bayleigh do, but mentioned she couldn't be there because she's "on the show." Meanwhile, Tyler's mother said something about it on Facebook. I don't think the show can afford to lose either at this point, but both cases are violations of the nondisclosure agreements.
* Nicole Franzel and Nicole Anthony seem to be in the cast. More on Nicole F. soon.
* David Alexander from last season is rumored to be in the cast. Maybe we'll see him actually play the game.
* Both Dan Gheesling and Derrick Levasseur were early initially rumored to be in the cast. Neither is in the cast now. While Derrick posted a tweet with an explanation that he turned it down due to family health concerns and the pandemic, Dan is tweeting like nothing happened. It seems to be part of a big brouhaha by Nicole Franzel to secure her own place on the show. Supposedly she went to production claiming Derrick and Dan were pre-strategizing before quarantine/sequester. You can read more about it here at this link.
* Daniele Donato-Briones seems to be on the show.
* Kevin Campbell -- BB11, the one who evicted Jeff -- is rumored to be in the cast.
* Ian Terry, Cody Califiore and Hayden Moss are rumored hamsters and I've seen nothing that would say they're not in the cast.
* Christmas Abbot is rumored to be in there as well as Enzo Palumbo (the Meow Meow), Keesha, Da'vonne and Memphis Garrett.
But, then again ... who really knows? Big Brother CBS has to stop ghosting us and let us know what's going on!

Interesting ... It makes sense when you think of how the whole world is wonky right now. Nothing is going according to plan!
Wow.... Going to bean interesting season! Thanks Jackie!
Are we doing a splash this time?
I'll be posting the pool sign-up later this evening.
Are there any rumors about Jeff? Jordan posted a week or so ago that Jeff was leaving for a while because he got a part in a movie. Just wondering if that was true, if there really a “movie”?
Grrrr! Hamsters and their keepers, lol. Thanks for the update Jackie!!
Good question! I would love to see Jeff in it!
Nikirose7 - Jeff's name has never been brought up in any of the rumors. Due to homophobic comments he made (regarding how he doesn't think gay male teachers should be allowed to teach in boys schools), I don't think they'd even consider him in today's world.
Thanks Jackie!!!
Dang...
i watched their last youtube and he stated that he is working on the movie and also doing DBL on location.
Darn it. I forgot about that. He was one of my favorites. I was hoping.
If you want a flash from the past, CBS is running an all Big Brother Price is Right repeat show from 2016 at 9pm tonight (Wednesday) Cast mentions Britney Godwin, James Huling, Will Kirby, Janelle, Rachael, Da'Vonne, Jeff, Frankie Ian and of course Julie Chen Moonves.
Squeegee
I'm sick of Nicole F. Over.
Glad that there may be no Kaycee, Josh, & Bayleigh - they've all been on MTV for the past year or so...
The rest of the cast is a blur - All I see is Kaysar & Janey! WHOOOHOOO
Tyler's Mom Charline posted in the Facebook group that I am in Tangela Love that it was not her that posted about Tyler. Charline has been in and out of the Hospital. Charline said she can not say about Tyler.
